14 Time and Timetables

14.1 Telling the TimeIn this section we look at different ways of writing times; for example, '7:45' is thesame time as 'quarter to eight'.

On a clockface, this can be represented asshown here:

Also remember that

one hour = 60 minutes

so that

half an hour = 30 minutes

quarter of an hour =15 minutes

three quarters of an hour = 45 minutes

Example 1

Write each time using digits and show the position of the hands on a clockface:

(a) twenty five past eight,

(b) quarter to ten.

Solution

(a) Twenty five past eight using digits is

8:25

(a) Quarter to ten can be thought of as:

15 minutes to 10 o'clock

or

45 minutes past 9 o'clock

so, using digits, quarter to ten is

9:45

14.2 12- and 24-hour ClocksThe 24-hour clock system can be used to tell if times are in the morning or theafternoon. Alternatively, times can be given as 'a.m.' or 'p.m.'

Example 1

Write these times in 24-hour clock time:

(a) 3.06 a.m. (b) 8:14 p.m.

Solution

(a) As this is an 'a.m.' time it remains the same but with a zero in front of the 3,

0306

(b) As this is a 'p.m.' time, add 12 to the hours to give

Solution

(a) As the hours figure, 14, is greater than 12, subtract 12 and write as a 'p.m.'time:

2:28 p.m.

(b) As the hours figure, 07, is less than 12, simply remove the zero and write asan 'a.m.' time:

7:42 a.m.

Exercises1. Convert these times to 24-hour clock times:

(a) 9:42 a.m. (b) 11:28 p.m. (c) 11:14 a.m.

(d) 7:13 p.m. (e) 9:21 p.m. (f) 4:18 p.m.

(a) quarter to eight in the morning, (b) ten minutes to midnight,

(c) ten past nine in the evening, (d) five to seven in the morning,

3. Write these 24-hour clock times in 12-hour clock times, using 'a.m.' or'p.m.':

(a) 1204 (b) 0822 (c) 1842

(d) 1330 (e) 1440 (f) 2305

Example 1

How many hours are there in May?

Solution

Number of hours in May = 31 24×

= 744 hours

Example 2

25 February is a Friday. What will be the date on the next Friday:

(a) if it is not a leap year,

(b) if it is a leap year?

Solution

(a) You could write out the next 7 days like this:

Friday 25

Saturday 26 or

Sunday 27 25 7 32+ =

Monday 28 32 28 4− =

Tuesday 1 So the next Friday will be 4 March.

Wednesday 2

Thursday 3

Friday 4

(b) Using the addition method:

25 7+ = 32

32 29− = 3

So, in a leap year, the next Friday will be 3 March.
